Agree with all CLOUD 500 said. I switched to Linux years ago which is better than Apple and is totally FREE! Linux has been my main OS for years and allows for total customization and is totally secure. When getting a new PC I keep Windows and dual boot with Linux and end up having two OSs that...

True good point. Luckily this has never happened to my EV. Glad to see you are still around danmand.

Actually this very same problem of vehicle batteries going dead in cold winter climates is far more common with ICE vehicles than EVs. AAA reports they get very busy in the winter getting calls for help on this very issue every winter. This is even reported on our local TV News channels every...

Never felt safe with any cloud storage sites. They all face the potential of being hacked. Always stored important stuff on external SSDs or Flash drives so that stuff never gets on the www. Both are cheap better alternatives.

Thanks for the clarification....:ROFLMAO:

My EV 3yr lease was, no money down and $215/month USD. EV vehicle insurance actually went down slightly. A dealer in WNY is running this ad right now: New 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT Lease for $169/month, 36 months, 10,000 miles per year, $2,500 cash or trade down plus first payment and DMV...

No. Try and Google that.

True Tesla, et al, are ranked luxury and cost more to insure. My domestic EV has actually a lower insurance rate. Yes it gets cold in the GWN which significantly lowers battery range in winter. Luckily I have a garage to charge in which helps greatly. Having to charge outside in the winter is...

LOL....have never kept a vehicle that long so that is a non issue. I always liked new cars. My last 6 have been 3 yr leases, since leasing rates have been quite attractive. So will probably lease another EV when present lease expires later this year. Right now in WNY EV leases offered are lower...

Not true. My EV weighs 400 lbs less than my prior ICE vehicle. Detroit is putting crappy 'performance tires' on many domestic vehicles now instead of 'touring tires' used in the past. Not sure about what tires go on non domestic vehicles, now. OEM touring tires with harder rubber compounds used...

China's BYD cuts entry price for smart EVs to below $10,000 https://www.yahoo.com/news/finance/news/chinas-byd-sell-21-models-121428786.html https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/chinas-byd-goes-self-driving-141558829.html EVs in general have a third less parts than ICE vehicles and should should...

I lease mine so no worries about battery replacement. Leases are very good still so will continue leasing. Besides I always liked new vehicles, which in this case comes with the latest battery upgrades. Batteries are relatively new and evolving and just getting better. Check out the Battery...

Yes it's true. During the very cold winter months you loose about a third of battery range. Going through my third winter now with my EV but still will never go back to any ICE vehicles. Base this on the fact I used to pay ~$150 a month for gasoline on my last ICE vehicle. Now I pay ~$36 a...
